Reconciliation album for fans

The Jazz purists had with Warner Bros. Davis` output (and his penultimate Columbia album, You're Under Arrest '(' Aura 'in 1989 still injected fresh but dated 1985)) still a major problem - too pop were, VA the hit album, Tutu`. , Amandla` reconciled there a little, although it is like a logical continuation of, Tutu` sounds. Again, in addition to Miles, Marcus Miller, the production scepter in his hand, which means - a lot of electronic, often funky rhythms and a sound that naturally smooth and polished comes when Miles first wild radio Phase á la, On The Corner` ,

The difference lies in Tutu's compositions - the topics are not so complacent, do not go so fast in his ear and the arrangements can also be far more room for improvisation than on, Tutu`. , Big Time 'is perhaps the poppigste piece on here.

Davis`, chops` are still fully intact, his phrasing over long distances a real revelation and the relatively smooth production is also the co-musicians like Kenny Garrett or Steve Khan benefit. Miller's Bass and his beats are as always absolutely on point.

Lucky he did not made the Jazz Group with this album, but reconciled a little. That his last match, a trip to the verpöhnten hip hop should be, at that time had no idea, but true free spirits such as Miles must obtain the root audience to destroy the front runners to be.

An album anyway, its acquisition is definitely worthwhile for fusion lovers anyway, but also for Miles connoisseur with an open horizon. What this man has put in his last 10 years, the music still on its feet is ohenhin too often underestimated ...
